wait. magnitude 16? are you shitting me? THEY WOULD HAVE NOTICED.

So... Zigra is a giant aquatic metallic telepathic alien shark whose huge eyes are so sensitive to light that a couple of headlamps are enough to keep him at bay, but the interior of his spaceship (which he somehow built despite not having hands) is a human-scaled air-filled space with plenty of bright lights.

This is the first time Joel says, "Ooooh Wooow!"

Is this the first host segment with the mads? Can't believe Trace got away with calling himself "dickweed."

Ironic that they faked the oil-can sound in the opening host segment. Kind of foreshadows the fake phone ring in Monster A-Go Go

Crow just goes full Wizard of Oz when he wakes up, huh? From Tin Man asking for the oil can so he can move to Dorothy waking up from the strangest dream to Scarecrow wanting a brain... Nicely done, Trace.

There's a pretty good chance that the voice of Master Zigra is also Kimar in "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians". Sound pretty much the same. Looked it up and is backed up here: http://www.mst3kinfo.com/rolodex/torg1971.html

I watched this and thought it was pretty good until near the end the final fight scene was cut out! Did this originally air this way?

Not too long after they did a "candid gamera" on comedy central and my girlfriend got the whole set of them on vhs. These were the first ones i ever watched. I still have the tape but it's pretty worn. Still my favs too.

They're really starting to hit their stride on this one.

This originally broadcasted right after the New Year's Eve party, on New Year's Day about midnight. Finally Trace is back in this one.
How awesome would it have been to see this when it first aired?

horrid movie, but the kids sure are cute.^^

I love the calls from fans (and non-fans), especially in this episode.
("What should I say?")
("I don't know!")
